S&M Holy Diver Frame Description:
The S&M Holy Diver Frame is made in the USA and is designed to tear up the streets with a modern geometry that promotes both strength and responsiveness. S&M's ThermalX Butted tubing ensures that big hits won't keep this frame down. Grind with confidence knowing that the HD's dropouts are 1/4" thick and heat treated for crazy amounts of strength. Simple decals, a laser cut toptube gusset, and a 5" headtube that reduces the number of headset spacers needed all come together to create a look that is simple and refined just asking to be shown off in the streets. The S&M Holy Diver frame is a vision that never dies.
NOTE: Raw and Translucent colors may show small veins or patches of surface rust under the finish. This is normal and does not affect the integrity of the product.

I bought a Holy Diver to replace my ATF.
The front is easy to lift and the rear is quick and easy to move.
I feel it suits the Japanese body.
I can turn the tailwhip very easily.
Thank you!
The paint is awesome! The Trans Teal color changes and turns to green depending of the sun light.
The welds are just amazing: you can see they are hand made; nothing to do with frames made in Taiwan.
The HD frame is indeed a super responsive frame but keeps the right balance between responsiveness and stability.
The chainstay length 12.7 - 13" and the 5'' headtube are just brilliant. Combined with 1/4'' dropouts, the frame backend is a master piece. A 2.45'' tire fits perfectly: No chain tensioner is needed whatsoever!
Some minor downsides however on the HD :
1. You need to put more spacers then usual to have a 25T sprocket mounted.
2. The decals looks cheap for such an high quality and amazing frame (I removed them!). Please S&M do something about that...
Overall, you cannot get wrong by purchasing this frame if you ride street and you like quality frames.
PS: S&M please release a full breakless version of the HD...pleeease! :-)
